Two suspects believed to be behind the daring USD 4 million Ecobank armed robbery in Bulawayo have been arrested in South Africa, according to a statement released by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) on Sunday.
Abraham Temayi Vumbunu and Elijah Temayi Vumbunu were taken into custody on 5 July 2025. The heist in question took place on 3 October 2024 and has been one of the country’s most closely watched criminal cases in recent months.
Authorities say extradition proceedings are now underway to bring the suspects back to Zimbabwe to face justice.
Police also confirmed that the investigation is far from over, with efforts ongoing to track down additional suspects linked to the case.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police reiterates that comprehensive efforts to arrest all suspects who are committing criminal acts in the country and escape to neighbouring countries will be religiously pursued for the law to take its course without fear or favour,” reads part of the statement signed by Chief Staff Officer for Press and Public Relations, Commissioner Nyathi.
